Air Max Day Event at Sole What

Posted by & filed under Events.

Yesterday night was a night to remember as Malaysian sneakerheads congregated at Sole What, Mid Valley Megamall for the Air Max Day party and also for the launch of the latest Nike Air Max Zero. The event was attended by a number of celebrities, namely Joe Flizzow, SonaOne, DJ Nesh, the DJs from BATE and many more. But one things for sure is that the shoes and the fixtures of the night were the ones that stole all the lime light.  The moment you walk in the store, you are greeted by a “painting” of a the new Air Max Zero that is made out of Lego, and when you turn to your right, there is huge Swoosh that is made out of pretty rae Air Max’s.

If you didn’t manage to show up last night, it’s okay, there is always next year. For now, you can flip through the pictures of the store.

Nike Air Max Zero QS Detailed Look

Posted by & filed under Sneakers.

The Air Max 1 was a result of this pair. The one before the 1. Nike turned back the clock to this early sketch that pre-dates the Air Max 1 and was intended to be the first Nike sneaker with visible Air. But the guys at Nike thought that the design was too advance for its time and tweaked it a bit and hence the Nike Air Max 1 was born. Almost 30 years later, Nike brought this back out from the design vault and will be releasing it on Air Max Day, which is tomorrow (26 March 2015).

The technology and materials used have advanced enough to execute Hatfield’s original vision of the Air Max Zero. Utilizing a Trainerendor / Air Flow upper shape lookalike, the pair uses a more technologically advanced mesh-like material called the mono-filament mesh. As for the sole, it utilizes the Air Max Ultra outsole for added comfort and a more lightweight shoe overall.

The shoe will be launched tomorrow exclusively at Sole What pop-up store during the Air Max Day party and will be retailing at RM599 per pair.

Masters of Max : The Air Max Icons

Posted by & filed under Sneakers.

The Air Max family spans numerous generations. With the Air Max 1 leading the charge, the family’s various iterations have taken on personalities of their own. None will be forgotten but some have come to stand apart, becoming known for their bold colours, spirited designs and pivotal roles in the evolution of visible air. As the second annual Air Max Day just two days away, Nike takes a look back to remember the Icons of the Air Max Family: The Masters of Max. nike-masters-of-the-max-the-air-max-icons-00

Air Max 1

Innovation isn’t always visible — but when it is, its impact can be immeasurable. In 1987, Nike introduced the Nike Air Max 1, the first shoe to put innovation on full display. Created as a cushioning system, Nike Air suddenly became a window of opportunity for self-expression, style, and crucially, pure performance. The Nike Air Max 1 arrived as a provocateur and a revolutionary, and the sneaker world was never the same._SP15_NSW_AirMaxDay_AM1_1987_Hero_V3_native_1600

 

Air Max 90

The Nike Air Max 90 has presence. Even when standing still, the shoe looks like a masterpiece in motion. Arriving in 1990, this installment of the Air Max family featured a larger volume of Nike Air than its predecessors. However, its fluid aesthetic was the defining feature. Hatfield knew the silhouette would hit the ground running, so the design evoked forward motion. Popular from the start, the striking Air Max 90 symbolized a new decade. Nike designers remixed the silhouette in the years that followed, but it stays forever coveted and essential. _SP15_NSW_AirMaxDay_AM90_1990_Hero_V4_native_1600

 

Air Max 180

The Nike Air Max 180 was born from the collective minds of Hatfield and Air Force 1 designer Bruce Kilgore. The two legends set out to make the Max Air unit visible on the outsole and midsole, which highlighted the shoe’s 180 degrees of cushioning. The shoe’s visible air was quickly recognizable around the world. Much like Nike introduced the Air Max 1 with a memorable commercial, the Air Max 180 was supported by advertisements created with legendary cartoonists, special effects masters and movie directors. _SP15_NSW_AirMaxDay_AM180_1991_Hero_V2_native_1600

 

Air Max 93

For the Nike Air Max 93, visibility was the driving force. How do you shock an audience that has already been surprised time and time again? The heel unit had always been the focal point, so why not take it to its limit? Hatfield’s latest creation was built on the Air Max 90’s flex grooves and used a dynamic-fit neoprene inner sleeve to give the foot and ankle added support. _SP15_NSW_AirMaxDay_AM93_1993_Hero_V3_native_1600

 

Air Max 95

The Nike Air Max 95 was not just a shoe, it was an outcast. Debuting in 1995, the bold silhouette was the first to feature visible Nike Air in the forefoot. This completely new approach to cushioning brought runners superior comfort and support with dual air units. The Air Max 95 was the first Air Max model to feature a black midsole, a trait that drastically departed from traditional running shoe designs. The Air Max 95 opened the front window in design and sparked a global movement. From New York to London to Tokyo, a generation wanted to wear the future on its feet. Multiple iterations later, it’s still turning heads. _SP15_NSW_AirMaxDay_AM95_1995_Hero_V1_native_1600

 

Air Max 97

The Nike Air Max 97 marked another leap forward with the first full-length Max Air unit. The groundbreaking shoe demanded an upper to match its audacious innovation. Starting with silver, the fluid design took inspiration from Tokyo’s lightning-fast bullet trains. Reflective piping gave the Air Max 97 a look that amplified in the right light. The perfect shoe for a maximalist period, when more mattered in music, movies and style, it has since become an era-defining design classic. _SP15_NSW_AirMaxDay_AM97_1997_Hero_V1_native_1600

 

Air Max 2003

A minimized upper combined with a maximized approach to cushioning defines the Nike Air Max 2003. The new silhouette borrowed the same Air-Sole unit used in the Air Max 97, but new developments in molding, construction and cushioning brought the foot closer to the ground for extra flexibility. Taking a path less traveled, the Air Max 2003 traded the bold color of past Nike Air Max models for a tonal option that gave the shoe a new aesthetic for the aughts. _SP15_NSW_AirMaxDay_AM03_2003_Hero_V1_native_1600

 

Air Max 360

Almost 20 years after the original Air Max debuted, the mission to make wearers walk on air was realized in the Nike Air Max 360. Nike engineered a completely new kind of Max Air unit that offered improved air-cushioned stability. Gone were the substantial layers of foam separating the foot from the air, and for the first time, thermo-molded construction helped achieve 360 degrees of cushioning. _SP15_NSW_AirMaxDay_AM360_2006_Hero_V1_native_1600

 

Air Max 2015

The Air Max 2015 is as much about reinvention as it is about revolution. The performance running shoe features an upper that matches the dynamic motion of the flexible, ultra-comfortable Max Air cushioning that debuted in 2013. The first Air Max with a breathable, lightweight, fully engineered and almost seamless mesh upper works in tandem with Nike Flywire technology to wrap the foot. The shoe offers a plush, bouncy ride that uses tubular construction and flex grooves for the latest standard of maximum. Even the reverse Swoosh subverts familiarity and signs off on a new generation of expression. Nike_HO14_Airmax2015_11793_V1_native_1600

Posted by & filed under Sneakers.

There was a time where anyone in Malaysia wanting to cop a pair of Saucony could only do so via an online purchase, or by going abroad to shop. So it’s good to see that the variety of Saucony sneakers have been on the increase lately here in Malaysia, especially with the entry of a more premium range like the G9 Control silhouette which is being used for the “Neon Nights” Pack.

Mixing the upper from the MASTER CONTROL model with the sole of the GRID 9000, Saucony creates the G9 Control silhouette. Premium buttery suede is used across all the uppers of each pair that feature hints of neon colours. Perforation marking can be found on the toe box and ankle and the Saucony logo is embroidered across the heel section. A G9 Master tag is found on the tongue.

The pack is now available at selected Saucony stockist like Sole What.
